Today, Captain Ron and I took the TI out. Great winds, good gusts and a lot of water.

With the rudder bolt installed - the boat was controllable and did well. We took turns out on the tramps which let us keep the sail out the whole time, otherwise would have to reef for sure.

Right at the end of the sail, I guess one of the steering lines slipped cause the handle would go way further than it should have gone. Also, I am going to rig up and use the 3 to 1 pull. When there is wind, it is a lot of work.

The ride was very very wet as you will see below. I got to get some splash guards.
